I have a part time job in a garden repair shop and have purchased an HF2417 that the customer did not want to spend the money on new deck bearings. So I purchased it for the equivalent of £50 working on Saturday morning.
I have yet to decide whether to repair the deck or just remove it and use it for driving with my 3 y/o son, as I did with mu previous Honda HT3813 which is a 2 cylinder liquid cooled petrol (looks like a tiny old.civic engine!!!).
First job is getting I running spot on, the problem is it will maintain revs when not under load, but when you drive it at maximum throttle after about 5-10 seconds it will.gradually loose power and revs drop from -3000 to about 1800rpm. I have replaced fuel filter, checked filler cap vent, blown fuel line from vacuum?/pulse?fuel pump into tank with airline to make sure its clear.
I then checked operation of fuel pump and flow seemed fine, only line I haven't checked is pump to carburettor.
It seems to me like there is a lack of fuel and it is only able to do full throttle under load whilst it uses up the available fuel in carb bowel or where ever, but I am not too sure on all these things, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know as I am stuck.
Just need to learn to post pictures now.
